Jeff Monson was far from being a can. He had some crazy submission victories before and after the Fedor fight, including Aleks. Can crusher/gatekeeper whose recent loss was for a rising DC.
Rogers, in turn, had his beat AA and was considered a promising fighter.
I didn't give much,for Fedor's last few wins at the time. But seeing the state of the HW division, where it's not so easy to find guys with a better winning streak, I had to reconsider.
He actually didn't have much at his disposal in the way of better available opponents outside the UFC. I actually kind of giving credit for not fighting Ken Shamrock...
